Why the Americans are the Best Faction in Company of Heroes 2

The best vehicle crews around. They don't even need vehicles
Yeah so I kinda feel like making a video like this for each faction. I do rather enjoy this game. Except for the British Command Tank. Screw that thing.

Except the fact that tigers and Panthers were extremely uncommon especially for American forces and would be horribly suited to recon due to their increased tendency to break down for statistically speaking almost no benefit as it didn't matter what tank you're in most of the time if you got hit first you lost.

9:55 reminds me of the Soviet clown car - get a commander that spawns in Guards rifles - load one Guards squad in a halftrack , chuck in a squad of engineers with flamethrowers for the lols. You get 1 M2 .50 HMG, 1 DP LMG, 2 PTRS anti-tank rifles, a flamethrower and a buncha lads with Mosins all firing out of one truck. I used to have two halftracks like that, plus a third upgraded with the AA mount for a early-mid game convoy of death - and late game they provide good anti-infantry cover for hordes of t-34s, with added repair capabilities from the engies.
